This works for both player location, and ball location.

Also. The midcourt line is twenty-eight feet from the endline, and hasn't been used in NFHS rules for at least twenty years. Did you mean division line?
He didn't say midcourt line. He said the refs conferred at midcourt.

Then by the old, really old, definition, they were between the twenty-eight foot hash mark and the division line. Wait a minute, there is no more twenty-eight foot hash mark. Thank God. Anybody work on a court so old that there are twenty-eight foot hash marks, inbounds, on the playing court?

Yes, just about every court I work on has a 28 foot mark. There a few that do not have the mark, but most still do. But then again, most of my season is MS ball so the last time they did the floor was probably when it was built.

In my giant corner of Texas, I've seen plenty of newer courts that have the 28 foot mark.

That's because the 28 foot mark isn't as rare as Billy is making it out to be.

The 14 foot coaches box sits at 14 feet and 28 feet, so there's a 28 foot mark on all courts that I work -- it's just that the mark is off the court.

Conversely, I'm not sure I've seen a marked coach's box yet. That's one I wouldn't mind, especially since the sub-varsity box is only supposed to be six feet (yeah right).

Subvarsity coaches get *no* box in Wisconsin.

Personally, I'd give them all the full 28 feet and not worry about it.

Wouldn't that make the playing court 112' long?
